Product Design FEA Engineer

Summary

Posted: Feb 3, 2025

Role Number:200589625

Imagine what you can do here! We are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and engineering excellence in product designs through simulation. We truly believe in the power of predictive simulation to make the impossible possible, transform industries and improve people's lives. As a member of the Product Design FEA team, you will use understanding of mechanics, materials and numerical methods to play a pivotal role in predictive engineering and directly impact the success of new iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and many more future products. Come join us and put a dent in the universe!

Description

As a core member of the product design team you will drive the structural design of ground breaking products using predictive system level finite element simulation. Participate in building and running system level models for important design load cases. Interact closely with the cross functional design team to define new load cases and product level mechanical requirements. Help test, characterize and develop new material models. Close the gaps between simulation and test with highly instrumented tests and rigorous correlation. You will be fully integrated with the product design team from the earliest stages to support ground breaking products.
